Description:It is becoming increasingly popular to use continuously collected acoustic or optical data to estimate abundance or biomass of fish and invertebrates. However, data from such systems are typically highly spatial- ly autocorrelated and zero-inflated, and thus simple design-based estimation techniques are not applicable. Model-based estimation methods can be used to extrapolate observations along the observed track to largerareas. We tested the precision and accuracy of three model-based methods using both simulations and field data: Ordinary kriging (OK), Generalized Additive Models with kriged model residuals (GAM 1OK), and Gen- eralized Additive Mixed Models with kriged model residuals (GAMM 1OK), along with a design-based meth-
